Mini notebook organizer project

I can’t remember where, but I saw something similar to this bopping around the internet. Etsy? Pinterest? Email from a friend? Who knows.

Actually, it was probably an email from my friend Mallory. Usually when she sends me a link I reply back, “Looks hard,” and star it so I won’t forget about it. Then I forget about it. Completely. Ergo, I’m a borderline terrible friend.

I guess this little organizer stuck with me because I bought notebooks last week in preparation for it! It holds a pen, mini notebook, and has a pocket for extra things. Like stamps or something.

I don’t think the link she sent included a pen. But I added a pen holder to my revised checkbook cover and it seemed like a good idea to stick one in here, too.

I’m not super pleased with how it bunches up in that top corner (can you even see it?) but I don’t think I can fix with without shoving a piece of cardboard up in there. And that just seems excessive.
